If you can prove abuse, neglect or an environment that is detrimental to the well being of the child, the child can have someone speak on their behalf or petition the court to be heard regarding new placement.

What can you do if you are a foster child and want to get married at 16 or 17 and who would you have to have sign for your permission to get married?
The judge who issued the order for the minor to be placed in foster care is the person who would have to give permission for the minor to marry, and that is not likely to happen.
How does a minor emancipate themselves from foster care?
They don't. A minor is placed in foster care by court order and the judge that issued the order has to rescind or amend the it before the person can leave the foster home. This applies even when a minor reaches the state's legal age of majority. All court orders pertaining to custodial matters related to a minor child supercede established laws.
Can you legally move out if you fight with your parents when you're 14 years old in New York state?
No, the age of majority in NY is 18. If the minor believes himself/herself to be abused or neglected they have the option of contacting state social services (DFS) and requesting aid. The agency will do an investigation to determine if circumstances warrant the minor will be removed from the parental home and placed in a foster or group home as a ward of the court. If evidence is found that warrants intervention by the court a hearing will be held, evidence and testimony given by all involved parties the judge will rule on what (if anything) should be done. That could mean the minor being returned to parental custody, having a legal guardian (usually another relative) appointed, or the minor being placed in foster care. Or the minor might prefer to contact a trusted responsible adult or adult relative for assistance. If the minor believes they are in immediate danger of physical harm they should call 911 for assistance from local authorities.
